A Place in the Sun September Property Marketing Show in Birmingham has ticket sales double



A Place in the Sun September Property Marketing Show in Birmingham has ticket sales double so far
30 Aug 2013
Sales of leading overseas property magazine A Place In The Sun and early ticket sales for its autumn live UK show have both doubled.
The autumn live show, based on Channel 4’s popular TV show that is shown all over the world, takes place at the National Exhibition Centre, Birmingham, from Friday 27-Sunday 29 September.  Free tickets are currently being offered to the overseas property trade at  www.aplaceinthesun.com/etickets/trade.aspx.

Publisher Andy Bridge said:
“We currently print 12,000 copies of the magazine but this will increase for the next issue with extra copies going into the newstrade to ensure we don’t sell out as we have done in some outlets, plus additional copies given out free at A Place in the Sun Live.”
Mr Bridge says publishing fewer issues a year means the magazine, which has been redesigned, is more of a premium product.

The September issue has 156-pages rather than the previous 148-pages. Due to additional production costs, its cover price has risen from £3.50 to £3.99 – the first increase in five years. To increase value, the magazine comes bagged with the Association of International Property Professionals’ (AIPP) 2014 Consumer Guide.

The magazine sales and Live show tickets have been boosted by excellent ratings from the TV show. In fact, Channel 4 has just announced the filming of a new series this autumn.
The 80 episodes will be branded A Place in the Winter Sun and will feature presenters Jonnie Irwin, Jasmine Harman and Laura Hamilton.
“We’ve seen its impact on traffic to the website and this is also feeding through to magazine and ticket sales.
“Sales of tickets for the exhibition in September are up fifty per cent on the NEC last year and up against our larger spring show too. Whether this will ultimately translate to a larger audience on-site I don’t know, but it’s a good signal.”

The take-up of free tickets through key partners has also improved. Marketing activity by the French-Property.com website, which runs the French Village at the show, has seen more than three times the number of people sign up than previously, adds Mr Bridge.

A Place in the Sun Live also features a global property exhibition featuring more than 150 agents, dedicated areas for Florida, Italian and Portuguese property, free advice sessions, appearances by the TV presenters and screen tests. Two visitor tickets cost £15.

Brazil's property prices incresed 11.1% year-on-year



Brazil's property prices are still climbing and up 11.1% year-on-year, according to the latest research.
28 Aug 2013
Values rose 1.1% in June, taking the increase so far in 2013 to 6.1%, the latest data from the Institute of Economic Research Foundation 
The FIPEZAP index is the main indicator of the Brazilian real estate market and includes 16 regions across the country.
June’s average price was R$ 6,824 (US$ 3,045,07) per square metre, with Rio de Janeiro commanding the highest prices.
Property values in the state of Rio de Janeiro, rose 1.4% in the month, and by 1.1% in Sao Paulo.
Luke Smith, Managing Director of independent investment consultants Crystal Investment and Real Estate, says Brazil is one of the fastest growing economies in the world and is South America's property hotspot.
Thanks to its hosting of next year’s football World Cup and the Olympics two years later, Brazil will receive a massive economic and tourism boost and gain worldwide publicity.

In a similar way, the hosting of football Confederations Cup in June helped international tourist income in Brazil reach record levels in the first half of the year. Foreign tourists to the country injected 7 billion reals (US$1.9billion) into the country’s economy, says the Brazilian Tourist Board, Embratur.

Mr Smith says Brazil real estate is very attractive for a number of reasons. “The primary one is the low cost of financing, or at least low by Brazilian standards. Mortgage rates are at least 1.3% a month, and loan payments are generally for just  fifteen years.

Houseing Prices continue to rise

Drive by' research shows a bright future for US metro areas
7 Aug 2013
News : While it’s generally accepted that the US housing market is experiencing a recovery, one leading consulting firm is predicting more positive results than most.

Metrostudy have forecast a double-digit increase in metro-area new home prices to continue through the rest of the year (their statistics from July 2013 saw a 12% rise) – although they say it will most likely level out to around +6% in 2014.

The company say that the current exciting increase is mainly down to a couple of factors: the continuing release of pent-up demand for real estate and the improvement in the American economy – people are feeling more confident about buying property for lifestyle.

Metrostudy gather their statistics in US metro areas using a “drive by” technique. Basically, the company’s researchers will drive past any and every lot currently being worked on by construction companies and pick up on a number of factors.

Has work started? How quickly is it progressing? Are completed houses still lying empty? When people move in, how stable are they likely to be (for example: toys on the lawn means family, family often means stability).
